Good morning, my friend!
By now, most of you have seen the news - SpaceX is finally opening to public investors after more than a decade as a privately held company.
What was once reserved for venture capital and institutional money is now accessible to individual traders like us.
The headlines and sense that “this is the one” - it’s easy to feel your pulse quicken and start imagining the upside.
That’s exactly how markets are designed. They thrive on emotion, and IPOs in particular are engineered to trigger maximum
🏦 The challenge is not missing the opportunity. The real challenge is protecting your capital and process when dopamine and hype start clouding your judgment.

Here are three practical ways I’ve found effective for handling IPO FOMO:
Pre-Commit to a Checklist
Before the hype even begins, define your personal IPO rules in advance.
Clear revenue growth and a visible path to profitability.
No entry in the first 30–60 days of trading (the opening frenzy is rarely worth the chaos)Delayed Entry Rule
Give yourself a mandatory cooling-off period after the IPO begins trading. Most new issues are wildly volatile in that first week as the initial pop, lock-up dynamics, and early profit-taking play out.“Replacement Trade” System
When the urge to chase hits, immediately shift your focus to a stock you already know well and follow regularly.
“Would I rather allocate this capital to a proven name with strong technicals and a setup I understand - or roll the dice on fresh hype?”
✨ Consider keeping a live journal. Over time, you’ll notice something reassuring where many opportunities you sat out either faded quickly or underperformed. That historical perspective is one of the best antidotes to future FOMO I’ve found.

Big Day Ahead, Traders!
We’ve got a flurry of market-moving events hitting the tape today, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most important sessions of the quarter.
It’s FOMC day, which means we get the official rate decision plus fresh projections. But what has everyone buzzing is our new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh stepping to the podium for the press conference - his first major appearance in the role.
His comments on future policy and economic outlook could set the tone for the rest of the year.
Here’s your full timeline to watch:
8:30 AM ET – US Retail Sales (MoM, Core MoM & YoY)
2:00 PM ET – FOMC Rate Statement + Summary of Economic Projections
2:00 PM ET – US Interest Rate Decision
2:30 PM ET – FOMC Press Conference with Chair Warsh
📈 Expect volatility to spike around the 8:30 retail numbers, then potentially explode into the afternoon once the Fed speaks. His tone and any forward guidance shifts could trigger some sharp moves across equities, bonds, gold, and the dollar.
